At New Age Care, we believe that care is about more than just meeting daily needs—it’s about enhancing lives.
Our new initiative, Wellness Beyond Care, embodies this philosophy by ensuring our clients stay physically active, mentally stimulated, and socially connected.
We understand that true well-being isn’t just about physical health; it’s about engagement, fulfilment, and community. Through a carefully designed programme of activities and outings, we aim to empower our clients to live life to the fullest, promoting joy, independence, and a strong sense of belonging.
Active Bodies: Prioritising Physical Wellbeing
Staying active is crucial for maintaining strength, mobility, and overall health, especially as we age. However, exercise doesn’t need to be strenuous to be effective.
As part of our Wellness Beyond Care programme, every visit now includes a dedicated 10-minute movement session, tailored to each client’s abilities. These gentle exercises help improve flexibility, circulation, and energy levels. Whether it’s simple seated stretches, light resistance movements, or balance exercises, these sessions ensure that our clients can maintain their mobility and independence for longer.
Beyond individual movement sessions, we also host Move & Mingle gatherings every fortnight. Clients come together for a light exercise session followed by a relaxed social chat over tea, coffee, and biscuits. This not only helps with physical fitness but also fosters meaningful connections with others.
Engaged Minds: Encouraging Mental Stimulation
Mental engagement is just as important as physical well-being. Keeping the mind active can help prevent cognitive decline, boost mood, and encourage creativity. Our carers don’t just provide support; they also bring stimulating activities into our clients’ lives.
From puzzles and brain teasers to arts, crafts, and storytelling, we encourage our clients to explore new interests and revisit old hobbies. Whether it’s a friendly game of chess, a creative painting session, or simply reminiscing over photo albums, we tailor activities to suit individual preferences.
For those who enjoy a group setting, our Monthly Activities Club, held on the last Thursday of every month, is a fantastic opportunity to engage with others. With guest speakers, interactive games, and a variety of engaging activities, these sessions are both educational and entertaining, ensuring that our clients continue to feel mentally stimulated and valued.
Connected Hearts: Fostering Social Engagement
Loneliness and isolation are common challenges for many individuals receiving home care, but at New Age Care, we’re committed to making sure our clients remain connected to their communities.
Our carers arrange regular outings to local coffee shops, garden centres, shopping centres, and even tourist attractions. These trips provide a refreshing change of scenery and a chance to engage with the wider world. Whether it’s sharing a slice of cake in a cosy café or enjoying a leisurely stroll in a garden, these experiences bring joy and enrichment to daily life.
Our Sunday Lunch Club, held once a month, is another cherished tradition. Clients gather to enjoy a delicious meal together, fostering friendships and creating a warm, family-like atmosphere. Sharing a meal has always been one of life’s greatest pleasures, and we believe that no one should miss out on the joy of good food and good company.
Additionally, based on client feedback, we organise ad hoc group activities to attend cultural events and local attractions. Whether it’s a trip to the theatre to see a pantomime, a movie outing, or a guided tour of a historic site, these experiences create lasting memories and offer a wonderful opportunity for social engagement.
A Holistic Approach to Home Care
Our Wellness Beyond Care campaign is designed with our clients' overall well-being in mind. We want to redefine what home care looks like by integrating movement, mental engagement, and social interaction into everyday support. This holistic approach ensures that our clients don’t just receive care—they flourish.
For families seeking a home care provider that offers more than just assistance, New Age Care provides a service that truly enriches lives. We recognise that our clients deserve more than routine visits; they deserve companionship, joy, and opportunities to continue growing and experiencing life.
